There won't be 50 cars as some have pulled out and some just won't turn up tomorrow, always happens.Penelope wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 7:40 pmThey'll be 3" apart then.

You can ask the person parking the cars, he/she may allow it.
End of the day it's just nice to meet up with other owners.

Many thank for organising this.
I'm embarrassed to say the Z4 hasn't been washed in weeks, and I've still not removed all traces from the 'paint tin incident'...

Washed mine yesterday. Still had plenty of wax on it following the treatment it got for ZEDfest. However, it will be covered with insect splatter by the time I get to the Ace

Thanks to all who turned up, we had a total of 36 zeds out of 38 in the end, so pretty good.
The weather was perfect for the day.
Great to meet up with friends old and new.
